Being Mr. Kenny

File this under “Careers”.

The best work, at least for me, is the stuff you get to do. If you are really good at that, you’re lucky enough to have very little of the have to stuff left.

Have to vs. Get to from Seth Godin.

I hate it.

That is all.

Picture this scenario. Imagine if the sun shrank down and came to earth to visit, just to see what it was like down here. I just like this idea. Imagine having a big ball of fire hovering around, maybe a metre in diameter, following you around at work. In my head, this mini-sun is a little bit insecure.

“Oh, um, do you mind, I think you’re setting those coats on fire. No, no, it’s alright. You’re new here. Oh, I think my boss is trying to come in, do you think you could just let him pass. Thanks. And maybe if you could just dim down a little bit? I’m actually blind now. And all that radiation you’re giving off is giving me cancer, anything you could do? … no, no. Well OK then. Did you get that filing? You burnt it. I see. Um, well my coffee’s gone cold, could you just heat it up? Oh, wow, that was … that was nuclear. No, no, it’s alright. I mean, it was my favourite mug, but … no, it’s cool.”

I am eating a cake that’s made out of two types of cake: chocolate and lemon. (Seriously, this isn’t hypothetical, I’m doing it right now, I love working in catering).

Now, eating two types of cake technically means that I’m eating two cakes. If I eat two slices (and I have done), how many cakes have I eaten?

a) 2
b) 4

If you answer correctly in the comments, I will tell you why sometimes you see a bar across zeroes.

(Also, if you answer incorrectly, I will tell you anyway.)

Did you know that there is no word in the English language that rhymes with the word “rhyme”?
